Disneyland raises Magic Key prices with new tier level

Disneyland plans to sunset the Enchant Key and raise prices on the replacement Explore Key as the Anaheim theme park shuffles the four-tier lineup of the Magic Key annual pass program.

The new $999 Explore Key will go on sale Jan. 13 as a replacement for the $974 Enchant Key that will be discontinued starting on the same date.

The $599 Southern California resident Imagine Key will also go back on sale Jan. 13 no earlier than 9 a.m. The Inspire and Believe Keys are currently on sale.

The new Explore Key will offer similar blockout dates as the Enchant Key with additional reservation availability during weekdays in June and July.

The existing Enchant Key blocks reservations around Christmas, Spring Break, Halloween weekends and summer weekdays.

Current Enchant Keyholders can continue to use their passes until they expire.

The new $999 Explore Key will cost 2.6% more than $974 Enchant Key.

Disneyland raised prices in October on two tiers of Magic Key annual passes — with the Inspire pass increasing 8.6% to $1,899 and the Believe pass climbing 7.3% to $1,474.

The price of the lowest-tier $599 Imagine pass available only to SoCal residents did not increase during the October price hikes.

Disneyland changed the name of the top-tier Magic Key in 2022 following a passholder lawsuit over reservations. The Inspire Key with 10 blockout dates around Christmas replaced the Dream Key that had no blockout dates.

Disneyland killed its original decades-old annual passholder program during the COVID-19 pandemic and unveiled the new Magic Key replacement in 2021. Within a few months, the Magic Key tiers began selling out. Since then, Disneyland has restarted and paused Magic Key sales several times.
